Teething Time


from the ABC set poemsbypaulmccann

My little teeth are coming through I don't know what to do .
My Mum gave me a teething ring to sit all day and chew .
Dad said ,

"You've got to get your teeth before you eat your meat"

I watch him crunching crispy bacon as I suck my teat .

If only I had teeth like Dad I'd crunch my teething ring,
but all I have are red raw gums and my God how they sting .
